There's a Spy 'Round Here...


The summer months have given me more time to enjoy video games, namely Team Fortress 2. It's been a while since I've played regularly, and a lot has changed. I was messing around with the built-in recorder and came up with some footage.



This video took me much longer than I expected, here's why:
1. The old version of windows movie maker (which I was used to) rendered the final project to look like this.
2. The newer windows live movie maker has even fewer video FX features than before, so I couldn't do everything I wanted, like speeding up or slowing down a section (but it did render correctly).
3. Almost every free video editor on the internet sucks.
4. When I did find a free editor that I thought would work, it put an awesome watermark over the final video for one minute.
5. I finally finished using the trial version of Sony Vegas 9. It only costs $600, so if you need a birthday idea...
